What you will visit:

Saint John (guided tour)
Situated on Canada's southeastern Atlantic seaboard, where the Bay of Fundy meets the Saint John River, the harbor town of Saint John blends its maritime heritage with modern flair. The landmarks that have survived centuries are stalwart emblems of the oldest incorporated city in Canada.
Reversing Rapids
Fallsview Park offers the best vantage point in the city to witness the Reversing Rapids. This unique natural phenomenon caused by the monstrously high tides of the Bay of Fundy that reverse the flow of the powerful St. John River.

Saint John River Cruise
Cruise along the river as your guide takes you back in time with the interpretation on the native settlements, lumbering operations, and stories about the steamboats that used this river as a highway. During your scenic river cruise, you will be entertained onboard by local musicians who will have you singing along, learning to play the spoons and enjoying traditional Maritime music. You'll cruise past cable ferries, a covered bridge and colorful wildlife that call this ecosystem home.

What you will see along the way:
Your day begins with a scenic, narrated drive though the city of Saint John. You'll see the colorful streets of Saint John's historic uptown, while your guide entertains you with tales of the fascinating personalities and events that have made Saint John a great city.
